No, I agree it would always be easier than log messages. I meant if
you really need to know the revisions for an issue the only way that
scales is a hook script that stores that information in the issue
tracker.

The "HL" stands for high-level. Basically, most of the low level
details are hidden away (implemented in the C++ side that the Java
calls via JNI). So new API's have to be exposed. The one to set rev
props as part of the commit, and also the new one to query them are
both not currently exposed.
Doing so is never terribly hard, just a lot of JNI grunt work that
only a couple of the committers know how to do.
